What
kind of numbers do you see when *writing*? (File must be large enough to
remove the effects of any write cache.)
I just ran a quick test using our FDRERASE product (which overwrites
every track on a volume). I set it up so that it had to actually
transfer a track-length record on every track.
I erased a 3390-3 (2.8GB) in an EMC DMX1000 subsystem.
The write phase took only 40 seconds, which is about 71MB/sec.
However, FDRERASE also waits for the control unit to harden the data
from cache to disk, which took an additional 52 seconds. So the
effective data rate including disk write time was 31MB/sec
